Old Buttermilk Sky - Carmichael

I’m keepin' my eye peeled on you

What’s the good word tonight?

Are you gonna be mellow tonight?

Ole buttermilk sky (ole buttermilk sky)

Can’t you see my little doggie and me We’re as happy as a christmas tree

Headin' for the one I love (the one I love)

I’m gonna pop her the question, that question

Do you Darlin', do ya do?

It’ll be easy, so easy

If I can only bank on you

Ole buttermilk sky (ole buttermilk sky)

I’m tellin' you why, now you know

Keep it in mind tonight

Keep brushin' those clouds from sight

Ole buttermilk sky (ole buttermilk sky)

Don’t fail me when I’m needin' you most

Hang a moon above her hitching post

Hitch me to the one I love

(buttermilk sky)

(gonna pop her the question, the question

Darlin', do you do?

It’ll be easy, so easy)

If I can only bank on you

Ole buttermilk sky (ole buttermilk sky)

I’m tellin' you why, now you know

Keep it in mind tonight

Keep brushin' those clouds from sight

Ole buttermilk sky (ole buttermilk sky)

Don’t fail me when I’m needin' you most

Hang a moon above her hitching post

Hitch me to the one I love

(buttermilk sky)

You can if you try

Don’t tell me no lie

(will you be mellow and bright tonight?

Oh, butermilk sky!)
